Pirates
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Rafael Devers homered to back six strong innings from
Robbie Ray, and the San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-2 on
Friday night.
The only run allowed by Ray (3-4) came in the second when Marcell Ozuna led off
with his 300th career homer to put Pittsburgh up 1-0.
Devers homered for the fourth time this season, connecting against Carmen
Mlodzinski (2-3) leading off the bottom half to tie it. It was just the 24th
home run for San Francisco this year.
Ray walked three straight batters to load the bases with two outs in the third
but struck out Oneil Cruz to keep it tied. The left-hander yielded four hits
and four walks while striking out seven.
Keaton Winn pitched a perfect seventh and Matt Gage worked a scoreless eighth
for San Francisco. Caleb Kilian gave up a run in the ninth but retired
pinch-hitter Ryan O'Hearn on a groundout with runners on second and third to
close it out.
Devers singled in the fifth and scored on a two-out single by Heliot Ramos to
give the Giants a 2-1 lead.
Willy Adames led off the seventh with a single against Justin Lawrence and went
to third on Ramos' double. Drew Gilbert singled to make it 3-1 before Jess
Rodrguez was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Evan Sisk gave up a two-run
single to Luis Arraez that made it 5-1.
Mlodzinski permitted two runs and seven hits in six innings. Lawrence was
charged with three runs and failed to get an out.
The Giants began the day with the fewest homers in the majors, the fewest runs
(115), and the fewest stolen bases (10).
